The police seem to be assessing this device in a very measured way, which is to be congratulated.
I can only imagine what is must be like to be confronted by a drug-crazed violent yob at the end of a long tiring shift on a Saturday night. A zap with 50,000 volts must be more effective than a thump with a truncheon!

Having recently been involved in holding down a drug-crazed violent yob I believe the police do need something to deal with people who are violent towards authority.
I guess it makes it safer for the police officers to arrest and take these people to court, but I wonder if the result of less assaults on police officers because they get the taser on them before they can, will mean less criminals are convicted.
Safer to get them to court so the namby pamby courts can let them off.
